My dessert of choice whenever I eat out, fancy a dessert after dinner, and from when I was little have food at the pub, has always been Chocolate Fudge Cake, especially warm with whipped cream. I have no idea why I've never thought about baking my own Chocolate Fudge Cake, until I came across a recipe I wanted to try.

Let's get baking!

Ingredients:

Cake

150g self-raising flour

30g cocoa powder

1 tsp baking powder

175g Muscovado sugar

175g butter, softened

3 eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

50g dark chocolate, melted

Fudge Icing

200g butter, softened

200g icing sugar

200g dark chocolate, melted

Start off by pre-heating you oven to 180C/170C Fan/Gas Mark 4, and line 2 x 20cm cake tins with baking parchment. 

In a bowl cream together the butter and sugar.

Then add you eggs in one at a time, making sure to mix together well to combine before adding the next egg.

Next whisk in your melted dark chocolate and then your cocoa powder.

Next add the flour and baking powder and fold into the mixture.

Lastly add the vanilla extract and give it a good stir.

Next divide the mixture evenly between the two cake tins, make sure the tops are level and bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until springy. Once baked leave for 5 minutes and then place the cakes onto a wire rack to cool.

When the cake is cool enough, start making your fudge icing.

Mix the butter till softened.

Next add the icing sugar and mix together until creamy.

Lastly add the melted dark chocolate and give it another mix together.

Place one of the cakes on a cake stand or plate, then spread the fudge icing onto the first cake.

Place the 2nd cake on top and spread the remaining fudge icing on top, and then your ready to serve.

This was a hit with both myself and Skye, I even thought it was better than the store bought chocolate fudge cakes as well as the chocolate fudge cakes I've had elsewhere.

This recipe was so easy and simple to follow and tasted divine, I'll happily be baking this bad boy again.

If you struggle with baking, I definitely recommend giving this one a try as the recipe is easy to follow and the ingredients are easy to find.

See you soon!
